is that just for ppl who got in earlier tho? like feb people might get it with their decisions if they're gonna start giving out scholarships now that they made all their acceptance offers?

That’s is typically the case based on previous years

I don't think they would do scholarship offers for those who got in this week, while still not giving those who were accepted in the fall any scholarships or financial aid offers. My understanding was that once all acceptances have gone out this year, you fill out your Pritzker financial aid application and send your FASFA within 2 weeks of acceptance, and then all scholarship/financial aid offers will be done in early/mid-march after the class is filled.

I don't mean that fafsa is necessary for scholarships, but considering fall acceptances have submitted all that information but still haven't heard any word, I doubt they would move ahead with awarding this week's acceptances scholarships without any communication to us. I believe it will happen in a batch together after the class is full! I also have a slight theory that they may want financial information this year to make some decisions if they have budget restraints due to covid, but there's nothing to back that up besides it being a thought I have lol

Not sure how Pritzker normally does it, but does this mean all acceptances will go out today? Do they call every person? Thank you!

Last year, it seemed like they do 2 days but I think previous threads have shown both 1 or 2 days. Generally, it seems like acceptances are first learned about through call. I think some people may have just received an email in past years but that seems to be the exception (missed the number or the call may have never went through)

I think last year they spread the calls among two days with rejections/waitlists also being sent out on the second day via email

Can someone who gets the A call ask by when they expect all acceptances to be out?

so if we don't get a call today, we're most likely rejected/WL?

is there a chance that this is one of those rolling acceptance waves? i.e. they accept a few applicants rolling, but most will hear back at the very end (which could be in the next 2 weeks)

Anyone have any insight as to whether or not MSTPs are included in this?
Click to expand...
I'm MSTP and I received an acceptance on Monday, but I'm not sure if MSTP does it like MD-only where all results are given between 1-2 days or if MSTP likes to spread it out a bit more across the week. Doesn't look like many people have recorded acceptances here on the MSTP SDN acceptance page either

I think I saw somewhere that each sdn A = 5-7 general acceptances. Not sure about today but since someone mentioned that 15 people have revieved acceptances so far, I think it makes sense that about 100 or so As have gone out until today

Accepted students is there a facebook group yet so we can get an estimation of how many As went out today?

I’m thinking they are still rolling As and haven’t gotten to the decision date yet. The last A wave was last day of February/first day of March for the past two years. We are still a good few days from that.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like many calls went out today. But maybe that's just wishful thinking haha

I didn't even get an email/portal update of my acceptance yet so not to my knowledge... tbh though, without something concrete like an email or portal update I'm scared that my acceptance was just a dream LOL

It says on the interview website: "All interviewed applicants will receive their post-interview decision by the first week of March, 2021." So we all should get decisions in the next few days, I think. Crossing my fingers that more calls go out tomorrow!

Nope, so far just an email and portal change (got the A in December) - but if anyone sees this before they get the call, please ask for us when they will make a facebook group or anything! I have been dying to get more information/meet people
